I had ordered the large cuff hoping it would work for my husband and me. Not so. This cuff is great--as was shipping etc.

I bought the LifeSource UA-853LAC Premium Digital Blood Pressure Monitor to help check my wife's blood pressure. When I ordered the Monitor, I was reading that the cuff was for arms of a certain diameter, so I ordered this small Lifesource cuff, figuring that was what I needed. The Monitor and Cuff both arrived, and sure enough, the Large cuff would not work on my wife - I tried a bunch of different times with no luck. (It worked just fine on my big old arm though.)
No problem, I swapped out the big cuff with the small cuff and ran into more problems.
The small cuff would not give a reading when on my wife's arm; either that or it would overinflate, and give an error. I tried numerous times in different positions on her arm (even her wrist), and also tried the original hose from the larg cuff, the different adapters, etc, but could not get the small cuff to work.
Perhaps if I worked in a Medical device repair/calibration shop I might have been able to figure out what was wrong.
LESSON 1: Do NOT buy a replacement cuff of a different size. You're better off buying a monitor with the correct cuff already on it.
LESSON 2: If you do purchase a monitor or cuff, open it and keep all packaging handy for a few days in case you need to return it. Unfortunately, I had tested the monitor on my arm, but didn't try the cuff until the next day - by which time I had already thrown away the boxes, wrapping, etc.

Works well but wish it had spring steel cuff in it to help get it on. Must for large arm.

This blood pressure cuff is very good quality and is well-priced at Amazon. I originally had a small cuff but needed to size up.

I was border line. I began with a large cuff, and then got this cuff, and my BP readings started agreeing with the $1,000 modles down at the doctors office.
